Which liver antidote should be used and can it be abused?

Question
Recently, I have used alcohol a lot, so I want to drink an antidote for the liver, but there are many functional foods on the market today. Therefore, I wonder if I should use any liver antidote and can I abuse it? Also, can I ask how to use vitamin B to treat alcohol? Should drink before or after drinking alcohol, if possible, how much should be used? In addition to vitamin B, is there any other type and how to use it? Looking forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you sincerely!

Hello! Please answer the question: “Which antidote should be used and can it be abused? Your liver enzymes are as follows:
When the liver is damaged, liver enzymes are higher than normal limits. Causes may be inflammation, cirrhosis, chemicals such as alcohol or toxic waste through the liver. In addition, the patient may have symptoms such as indigestion, bloating, loss of appetite, nausea, ... Some drugs can be used in this case such as Biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate, L-Ornithine L-aspartate, Use only when indicated for treatment, not for prevention. In addition, herbal medicinal plants with chlorophyll, artichokes, are liver detoxifiers that have a protective effect on the liver (also known as liver detoxification), can be drunk if you drink a lot of alcohol. .
As for the question of how to use vitamin B to treat alcohol, currently on the market there are many products advertising that can cure alcohol, in fact only contain sugar, vitamins B1, B6, PP, glutamic acid, fumaric acid. , succinic acid and a number of enzymes. It has a temporary effect, helping to convert alcohol into non-toxic substances such as CO2 and water. The ingredients in alcohol detox tablets help reduce the formation of acetaldehyde (a metabolite from alcohol, causing drunkenness, alcohol poisoning) and eliminate it from the body by the action of metabolic enzymes. However, do not trust too much alcohol can help eliminate all alcohol. Therefore, you should only drink in moderation, should not drink more than 30ml/day for spirits and 700ml/day for beer. And if you take a liver detox or an alcohol pill without abstaining from alcohol, then taking medicine will also become useless.
You should consider using a liver detoxifier and an alcohol detox. If you still have questions, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for in-depth advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health. Best regards!
